Up North

It has been an absoutely beautiful autumn in the Midwest, the best that I can remember- mild temperatures, brilliant colors and lots of sunshine!  We have been trying to soak it up while it lasts.  Last weekend we went up to the cabin to close it down for the winter.  It was the perfect combination of work and relaxation...



Sitting on the dock taking in the view...

Lacey, our faithful sidekick, waiting for us to play with her...

My Dad chopped down some trees...

Steve split the wood...

while my Mom & I relaxed on the dock...

JUST KIDDING...

we stacked all the wood in the shed and THEN relaxed on the dock...

Later that night at the original Famous Dave's...

My adorable parents...

 taking down the dock...

thank goodness for waders...

Farewell until next year...
